4. What is the Thorntons returns or exchange policy?

Where goods are able to be returned in their original and saleable condition an exchange, refund, second-purchase discount or credit note may be available. Damaged or opened products will not be permitted unless there is an issue with the product or delivery service quality. A valid sales receipt must be available for refunds or exchanges. We reserve the right to refuse refunds, exchanges, second-purchase or credit note on perishable food items under the Consumer Right Act 2015 in certain circumstances. These may include, but are not limited to ; high value orders (which we believe to be fraudulent or with the intent to cause damage to the goods purchased), international orders, orders where-by the product has been purposefully damaged.

1. Who will deliver my order?

If you order using our Standard Delivery, Named or Express (Next Day) services, your products will be delivered via Royal Mail.
You can find more information on our delivery information page.

2. Does Thorntons deliver alcohol?

If you intend to place an order containing alcohol (this specifically refers to bottles of alcohol, as opposed to products containing alcohol as an ingredient), we are legally required to confirm that you are over the age of 18. You will be asked to confirm this during the order process by entering your date of birth. We perform an instant online identity verification check to confirm you are over 18. If this check is unable to confirm you are over 18, we will look to contact you to verify your details - this forms part of our contract of sale. We will not be able to dispatch your order until we have been able to speak with you to verify your details. If you are underage, please do not attempt to order alcohol products on the site.

3. How do I place an order for a business or corporate event?

If you are a corporate customer looking to place a large volume order please contact us here so we can help you with this.

4. £15 minimum spend

Does this include the delivery charge and discount?
The minimum spend is calculated after discounts and does not include delivery charges. We offer free standard delivery on orders over £40.

Can I use my coupon/ discount code?
Yes, you can still use your coupon and discount codes, but the minimum spend would still apply, so if your order is below £15 once the discount has been applied, you will not be able to complete the order.

Can I split my order between two addresses?
Unfortunately, we can only offer one postal charge to one address.

Why have you changed this?
In order to keep delivering the best customer experience we have taken the decision to apply a minimum spend.

2. How should I store Thorntons chocolate?
